Surveillance systems are a great example of how electronic systems can provide peace of mind. Cameras mounted in strategic places can give homeowners a great view of what’s happening in and around their house. For homeowners who want to record and save footage for later viewing, cameras can be combined with a network video recorder or cloud-based recording. Surveillance systems can also be accessed remotely so homeowners can watch live footage when they’re away from home.

ACT also integrates security systems, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and water detectors (often used in basements) to a home’s control system so homeowners are immediately alerted if there’s a problem, even when they’re away from home.
